Since the fall of 2015, Josh has presented (or virtually presented) at over 750 schools, classrooms, and libraries.
About the Sue T. Lawson Visiting Illustrator Author (VIA) Program
The Sue T. Lawson VIA Program allows our Primary School to annually bring an author to our school from all around the country. The program was named in honor of the former long-time Holland Hall primary school librarian Sue Lawson. We are excited for Josh Funk to be our VIA author this year.
